Document Management System

Control every document with structured registers, automated metadata, version control, and enforced numbering — so outdated files never reach the field.

Document Management System
Overview

Why teams use Document Management System

The Sofidus Document Management System provides comprehensive construction document management with metadata-driven organisation, version control, access management, and document distribution capabilities.

Documents are stored, classified, and retrievable according to construction industry standards, with support for document numbering conventions, revision tracking, transmittal management, and controlled distribution to project stakeholders.

Unlike generic file storage, the DMS enforces structured registers that ensure every document is properly catalogued, versioned, and distributed through controlled processes — giving teams confidence that they are always working with the latest approved information.
